This is a long and good read but the incongruity of your OP and our posts brings to mind this essay by Albert Einstein re:socialism during the McCarthy Witch Hunt Era, on the Good Reads Forum.

"But historic tradition is, so to speak, of yesterday; nowhere have we really overcome what Thorstein Veblen called the predatory phase of human development. The observable economic facts belong to that phase and even such laws as we can derive from them are not applicable to other phases. Since the real purpose of socialism is precisely to overcome and advance beyond the predatory phase of human development, economic science in its present state can throw little light on the socialist society of the future."
